BATorrent-app/BATorrent v4.8.0

on GitHub

Added

• Point BATorrent at your own VPN. Set it up in Settings and only this app goes
  through it; if the tunnel drops, transfers stop instead of falling back to
  your normal connection. Split tunnel, auto-connect, and the binding rechecked
  over the tunnel's whole life instead of once at startup.
• Drop a WireGuard .conf on the VPN card to import it. Each profile shows the
  country it actually lands in, resolved from the endpoint rather than the name.
• The network interface picker names the tunnel BATorrent brought up, and marks
  the ones that look like tunnels, instead of listing identical-looking adapters.
• Direct downloads: any http link, segmented and resumable, with a fallback for
  servers that refuse range requests. File hosts included. Paste it, use Ctrl+D,
  or drop the link on the window.
• A setup wizard on first run: language and content language, theme, covers or
  list, and where the navigation and detail panel sit. Every answer applies as
  it is clicked. Reachable any time from Help, and shown once to everyone
  updating to 4.8, since most of these settings were never easy to find.
• Search warns about releases that want a password, are too small to be what
  they claim, or are cam rips, before the bandwidth is spent.
• More than one video plays at once, each in its own window.
• Start with the system, without the window opening minimised when it is
  launched by hand.
• macOS: double-clicking a .torrent opens BATorrent.
• Windows: a bigger tray icon with a status dot under the wing, green while
  bound to the VPN and red while not.
• Software replaces Apps as a category name, and Compressed joins the built-ins.

Changed

• One progress bar for every state, same height and place: downloading in the
  accent, seeding amber, done green, paused grey. Missing files and storage
  errors get moving hazard stripes instead of a percentage, because a torrent
  that stopped at 62% still has a number and drawing it claims progress that is
  not happening.
• The detail panel keeps cover, title and progress on screen while the tabs
  change, in both the side inspector and the bottom deck. The inspector
  collapses to a rail, like the deck already could.
• New typeface, and one icon rule throughout: solid names a thing or a state,
  a stroke names an action. Every context-menu item has an icon now, and the
  toolbar's Copy wears a magnet, because it copies a magnet link.
• Free space moved next to the transfer figures; the navigation rail shows what
  is transferring in the space it used to leave empty.
• Notifications have a dismiss button. They always closed on click, but nothing
  said so.
• Find: "See all" opens that shelf as a grid instead of changing a filter chip.

Fixed

• Brand-new magnets no longer appear as SEEDING. libtorrent reports "finished"
  for a torrent that has nothing to do yet, and that answer was trusted raw.
• Storage failures are their own state, separate from files that merely moved.
• Adding the same magnet twice no longer creates a second entry that fights the
  first for the same data.
• The category filter no longer hides everything when a category is selected.
• Expand details is disabled when nothing is selected, instead of looking broken.
